[The correction of prostatic hemodynamics in chronic prostatitis]

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Medical Physics
• Biomedical Engineering

Background:

• Chronic prostatitis often involves venous outflow disturbances.
• Rheography is a key diagnostic tool for assessing prostatic hemodynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of rectal magnitotherapy in managing chronic prostatitis.
• To compare two magnetic field regimens for treating venous outflow disturbances.

Main Methods:

• Patients with chronic prostatitis underwent rectal magnitotherapy.
• Two regimens were employed: constant frequency (5000 Hz) and fluctuating frequency (1-20000 Hz) magnetic fields.
• Prostatic rheography was used to assess hemodynamic parameters.

Main Results:

• The fluctuating magnetic field regimen was superior to the constant frequency regimen.
• This regimen reduced treatment duration.
• Rheographic parameters normalized in 90.2% (37 patients) of cases.

Conclusions:

• Rectal magnitotherapy, particularly with a fluctuating magnetic field, is a recommended treatment for chronic prostatitis.
• This therapeutic approach effectively corrects hemodynamic disturbances.
• The fluctuating regimen offers a more efficient treatment protocol.
